When my cursor scrolls over the map in DX Atlas only the SNR is
displayed on the display bar. How do I get it to display the MUF?

Hello George,

On the 'Bar' immediately above the map you should have a bunch of icons for
Labels, Grids all the way over to the slider that changes the map size. On
the 5th icon there is a drop down arrow, you can make your selections there.

GL Eric.

Hi Eric,

MUF3000 available via the ionospheric menu in DX Atlas is not the same as
MUF. MUF is a characteristic of a path, it is caclulated in HamCap using the
Home Location as a path start. MUF3000 is a characteristic of a single point
under the mouse cursor, it is the MUF of a hypothetical 3000-km path that
has the point in question as its midpoint.

Please note that, as far as dxing/contesting is concerned, the SNR is the
only parameter that matters. All other values predicted or modeled by DX
Atlas and HamCap are useful only for understanding the propagation
mechanisms.

Alex, when I use the globe or azmuthal view and my cursor is not in the
actual map the display bar shows MUF. What is this MUF in reference to? It
keeps changing until I once again locate the cursor over the map and then it
goes back to SNR.

What I would really like to know is the MUF for a given spot on the map. I
do understand how to get this from HamCap, but it would be nice if this was
available in DX Atlas when all the programs (DX Atlas, HamCap, and
Ionoscope) are integrated.
